Re: transforming XML into XML using XSLT.

Two alternate methods you may want to try:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output type="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
        <catalog>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="cd"/>
        </catalog>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="cd">
        <cd>
		<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="artist"/>
        </cd>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

or, since you're simply stripping out selected tags, you can use an
identity transform and just block certain elements.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output type="xml"/>

<!-- Identity transform, passes nodes through untouched -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()|text()">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*|text()" />
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Match these specific nodes and do absolutely nothing with them,
which keeps the Identity transform from catching it. -->
<xsl:template match="country|company|price|year" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

Cheers.
